Our mission, as a Church of England School, is to provide an education that gives all pupils the opportunity to develop their full potential within a happy, caring and safe environment grounded upon the values of the Christian faith.

Daily worship in school and termly services at St. Marwenne Church are an important part of our Christian Ethos as well as developing a sense of community and belonging for every child. Our Home/School agreement asks parents to support this important aspect of our school life.

Each half term, we will focus on one value, which has been linked to a key Bible story. Year on year, the children will develop their understanding of the values and key Bible stories. For example, each half term, the children will reflect on:

What each value means to them?

How the value and Bible story helps them achieve and succeed?

The table below shows which value and key Bible story we focus on each half term.
